301--Friendship

[The desks are all gone, the room is open. There are snacks at the front of the room]

Today we are going to touch. Friendship and intimacy is often conveyed through non-sexual sensual experience. We hug, we kiss, we lean on one another [Looks at Chip]...and we express our closeness in a miriad of ways, everyday.

Ok, so as always, no forced participation, but please move around the room talking to one another and make physical contact in some way. Skin to skin...for example, holding hands, would be best...but do only what you are comfortable with [Looks at Rory]. I'm in on this too, so don't feel like I'm putting you on the spot.

Oh, and just a note...I don't care about your grades in other classes, and whatever you may have been commanded to do by another ethical student or instructor is null and void inside this classroom.

Ok, gang. Go.

"So." Jack started awkwardly. "How was your weekend?"

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

"Well, you know, except for the you on Friday part....." she trails off. "It was quiet. Rory had a birthday and Logan was a bunny so I was home alone."

"How was your weekend?" she asks.

Jack isn't sure whether or not he's proud that he didn't bat an eye at the bunny-guy comment.

"Eh. It was okay, didn't do much of anything really. Saw an old friend on Sunday though."

"I have an old friend coming this weekend," she says and looks at him still smiling as if a demon boss coming to visit were the happiest of occasions.

"Technically, he's my old boss, but he's like a father so I thought who better to represent my family that D'Hoffryn!" she says, excited at the thought.

"Do you have family visiting this weekend?" she thinks to ask.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Heh. Her boss. That's ironically funny.

"Yeah, my odler brother Murray and my Uncle George are coming. It should be fun."

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

"How nice," she says trying to remember what her actual family was like. Sometimes it was such a pain to be older that even Jack.

"Are you planning on going to Wednesday's Halloween party? I usually don't go to those kind of things since Halloween is so overrated. I mean, come on...witches just don't dress like that. Ghosts, hello. I mean if they were to wear sheets they wouldn't be crappy 100 count sheets like everyone tends to think......." she trails off trying to figure out what her point was.

Oh yes, now she remembered "But, I would certainly break tradition and go with you if you wanted to go."

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

"I'm actually already going with a group of friends. I'll probably see you there though."

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

"If I decide to go, you know, which I haven't," she says, not wanting to feel rejected.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

"You should go though, it sounds like fun."

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

So, she thinks to herself. He wants me to go then?!

"Yes, well, if I can figure out a costume I might. I mean, you know, if you think it sounds like fun."

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

"You could always go as a teacher or another student if worse coes to worse."

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

"Sure, but only if you go as Professor Cregg. I don't think she'd consider that flattery though," she laughs at the thought.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

"I think I might be killed if I went as her. And I've got a costume anyways so unless I wanna lose fifty bucks I'm gonna have to wear it."

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

"Well, being dead is really not really a good look for anyone except maybe Angelus. But I think that has more to do with his hair that anything else, so you should probably stick with what you have. I was thinking of going to see The Cat this week, he seems to be up on fashion as long as it's shiny"

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

She's gonna go see a cat for fashion advice. It's wrong how much that makes sense.

"Be sure to let me know what you end up going as, okay?"

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

"Yes I will," she says smiling at him again.
